The cove cutting cutter for my table saw will make cutting grooves larger than my router bits can cut for some of my projects. I would sometimes use a chisel and sander to cut out the entire groove needed.

I have a new project that requires a lot of thirty six inch long coved pieces that need to be two inches wide. Since I don't have a two inch router bit and if I did it would be more expensive than this Coving jig. It's more convenient, for this job, to use this jig and eliminate clamping fumbles for a make shift fence on my saw. Plus, the Rockler jig makes it easy to clamp to the protractor slots on the table.

Finding larger cove moulding at big box hardware store is impossible, and even if they did have it, the cost would be prohibitive. My guess is that this jog will pay for itself in the first 100 lf of cove moulding made.

I am tasked with fabricating several hundred feet of crown molding for the house we just moved into. Given that I can make it for about 20c per foot I don't want to spend 95c per foot. Besides wood working gets me out of the house when my wife is screaming at me or my daughter.

Not that Im aware of , there are lots of web sites out there that you can see demo's of how too . I have found the best way is to set up the jig and try a few sample runs before you make a bunch of scrap. Buy some cheep pine and try it , Woodworkers Journal has a artical on how to set and use this type of jig . Good Luck

Reviews

The cove jig worked worked very well although I had to shim it up for clearance on a 1-7/8 x 3-3/4" thick hard maple board. This was a deep cove and all went well with very little sanding in the end. A great product.

I BOUGHT THIS COVE JIG LAST MONTH AND STARTED PLAYING AROUND WITH IT AND I FEEL IN LOVE WITH THE POSSIBILITIES IT CAN DO, MOLDINGS, TABLE LEGS, EDGINGS ON WHAT EVER FURNISHINGS YOU PREFER TO PUT THEM ON. MY TABLE SAW IS A 10" AND THIS JIG MAKE SOME VERY NICE COVES, I STARTED PLAYING AROUND WITH A 8" AND 5.5" BLADES ON MY TABLE SAW YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE ARBOR SIZE IS THE SAME ON THE TABLE SAW YOUR USING. BUT, "PLEASE USE CAUTION AND READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL WITH THESE TABLE SAWS" .

I purchased your cove moulding table saw jig last year and have used it to make feet for several projects. A set of feet would cost around $100 to purchase, but I can make them for $20 with this jig. It's more than paid for itself already. Highly recommend it.

The Cove Cutting Jig comes with instructions for cutting straight coves. I needed an elliptical design for some base I needed for a cabinet. Fine Woodworking Magazine has a Cove Angle Calculator on their website. You just input the numbers for your project and it will give you the blade angle and jig angle to the saw blade. With the fine woodworking calculator on their website and this jig you can make great designs.

I ordered this this jig to make my own large cove moulding for a pantry cabinet made of red oak. So far is working well. I have a few recommendations for improvement though. The Miter slot lock downs don't hold that well unless you really crank them down ( I worry about longevity, torqueing parts that hard). I wish that the steel bars that hold the jig parallel just had holes at each end instead of slots through the whole bar( the two halves of the jig sometimes would slide out of parallel), Lastly the inside faces of the jig(where the lumber slides through) came to me rough which adds increased drag on the board edges ,It would have been nice if those edges had been covered in melamine as well or at least smoothed. Despite those issues the jig is still a great tool and a great value especially if you get it on sale for $60 and free shipping like I did.

I bought this as I need to finish some shingles on a job that a friend left undone. I didn't want to waste a bunch of lumber with a homemade jig so I ordered this one. It is well worth the money and did a terrific job. I'm going to tackle the exterior of the wood shop next as it's missing some shingles. I have already seen alot of uses for it and it will be getting a lot of use. Thanks Rockler for the great product!

I've used a homemade fence to make cove's and this COVE FENCE is a heaven-sent. The setup on my table saw was a breeze and worked great since I have out-feed table. To go along with this cove fence I have a CMT Crown Molding Set. These two items go together like man & wife

I found this product to be easy to set up and a breeze to use. Just followed the instructions that came with it and got what I wanted the first time. I also found that the sanding took little effort. This is a well thought out contraption that really works.

I needed some cove molding for a project made of blue pine as this is not not an item to be found at the local lumber yard, I was in a quandary as how to proceed this coping jig made the perfect molding the first time.

This jig works! It cuts a nice cove with minimal need for sanding. I take incremental cuts and it does not labor my table saw nor does it seem to put much of a side load on the blade so I am not concerned about premature wear on the saw mechanism. For my purposes in a home shop it is just what I needed. No need to buy a high powered router and expensive large cove bits. It is well made and simple to assemble and put into use. I have tried to make my own jig in the past and clamp it to the saw table but this is much much better. I am glad I bought it!

Theis jig worked very well with one exception. When I got it set up the first time, I removed the taped down template, and the jig promptly slid in the miter tracks and moved out of position. I tried various ways of tightening the miter track clamps and could not stop the jig from sliding in the miter tracks. So, I set it up one more time and then used two magnetic feather boards set one against the right fence and one against the left fence to lock it in place. Once I did this, the jig made a beautiful cove.

This contraption really works! I don't find myself making large custom moldings too often, but when I need something to match a piece of furniture I'm making and can't find the right wood at the molding shop or lumberyard, this jig is my ticket out of a tight spot. It is easy to set up by following the included directions, and the sawn surface only needs a bit of cleaning up with a gooseneck scraper before final sanding. Best of all, this rig is much safer to use than any similar home-made setups I've seen and used before.

Very pleased with this jig. I used it to cut moulding for the New Yankee Shop Clock. Since I used curly maple there was no way I was going to find a stock moulding. Worked out great. I found that several shallow cuts, moving the saw blade up each time worked well. The extra sanding to remove saw marks was not bad at all.

I purchased the table saw cove cutting jig for a home bar building project and was totally satisfied with the results after just one use. It performed as expected with few exceptions. my table saw is not equipped with tracks so clamping was a major problem. clamping four corners caused it to bow in the mid section. also the end brackets are not high enough to allow a 2X6 to slide under so raising is accomplished with thick washers.
